Um...no. I've visited St. Hilarion Castle many times, years ago, while living on Cyprus. It's a striking example of medieval fortification architecture, but it was never the inspiration for Walt Disney, at least insofar as that inspiration relates to the Ludwig von Drake character or to the famous Disney Castle at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. The castle that inspired Walt Disney was Neuschwanstein Castle, located above the village of Hohenschwangau in Bavaria, Germany.
